I could be wrong (it's happened before) but I think that in the newer version of X, XF86Setup has kind of been retired--I haven't seen it, anyway. There are several other options for X configuration that *weren't* there before, though (which may be considered replacements, I don't know). You can try running XFree86 -configure (or maybe it's '--configure'); or even more similar (in a way) to XF86Setup is xf86cfg (which is different from xf86config). I think all of these are standard X things, and not dependent on which version of Debian you are running so much as on which version of XFree86.
P. S. Found a page that might help explain better: http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/RELNOTES1.html#1 The first paragraph here... http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/RELNOTES3.html#9 ...may help explain about XF86Setup, too.
